Being a cornucopia of reviews of Irish crime writing wot have popped into my inbox this week. To wit: Cora Harrison, MICHAELMAS TRIBUTE (Monsters and Critics)
Eoin Colfer, ARTEMIS FOWL AND THE TIME PARADOX (Inquirer.net)
Benjamin Black, THE LEMUR (Sunday Telegraph)
Benjamin Black, THE LEMUR (Courier Mail)
Tana French, THE LIKENESS (Sunday Independent)
Andrew Nugent, SOUL MURDER (Shots Magazine)
Philip Bray, INSIDE MAN (RTE Arts)Brian McGilloway, BORDERLANDS (Mystery Scene Magazine)
Sam Millar, BLOODSTORM (Mystery Scene Magazine)
Ken Bruen, AMERICAN SKIN; Arlene Hunt, UNDERTOW; Andrew Nugent, SOUL MURDER (Irish Times)
The review of the Artemis Fowl was very positive. I like that. But it was impressive quite how many incorrect facts it managed to contain. Someone's read the books and not managed to remember who wrote it, who it's about, and which characters are dead or not, how old Artemis is/was/will be in the future (time paradox). And so forth.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I can't commment, Ms Witch, having yet to read the book. Oops, I just did. Comment, like.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dec
I know. That's why I shared my vast knowledge with you. I wasn't complaining. Just thought it was funny how someone could get so many things a little bit wrong, while still being a fan.
